More rumors have surfaced about the release of BBM for Android and iOS systems.

This time, Jakarta website TeknoUp claims they received an invitation to an event that's pegged for Sept. 20.

We're not sure how legit the invite is, but CrackBerry compiled a list of plausible dates based on previous rumors and it seems like this Friday we'll see BBM hit the Google Play store for Android devices while the Apple store will see it on Sept. 21 for iOS.
